Once again, it's opinion. They both have unique features and I prefer Maemo to Android (as others prefer Android to Maemo/iOS/Symbian etc).

Opinion is not fact.

Samsung just have failed to meet the timeframe what they have announced. Simple as that. And community supports small amount of power users who are able and eager to try the meanest and leanest stuff. (pretty much same applies to maemo :|)

Looking comments from Samsung users who are waiting for official firmware is just well..dejavu of whining here in TMO.

.edit
And btw. be careful with that ad-talk style. Maybe itīs just me but users who like to share their delight (includes religious people) with devices that they have fallen love (n900,iPhone or whatever) gives me chills. I do not trust them ;) Still itīs of course very humane to share happiness :)

slender, I understand perfectly what you say.
Still, Personally, I like the leaking method samsung is using.
They have not been leaking firmwares only after missing their own deadline, but far before.

When I had the N900, and was waiting and waiting and waiting for PR1.2, It was a nightmare for me. Eventually 1 leaked version came around, when we flashed it, it rendered the phone unflashable to PR1.1, and soon enough we started getting warnings about flashing releaked firmwares cause it violates all sort of ********.

Regarding the other poster about the build quality,
Again, as we are in a thread called N900 vs Galaxy S.
Galaxy S does feel cheap, plasticy, fragile.
And yet, on my N900, ear-piece stopped working (used bt headset instead), USB port came out, (for me it just didn't charge right),
Camera + flash was always HAZY till i used a marker to blackout the blue strips, screen was no where sensitive as a capacitive screen - now you will legitimetly claim : it's a resesetive screen, can you use a stylus on your Galaxy S? No! I can't, but that resesetive screen has NON-Linear pressure all over the place, MyPaint proved it so hard.

My galaxy S already fell 3 times, with no shields or cases.
it completely disassembled on impact, i put it back, and everything is perfect again.

Nokia used to know what they are doing, and now they DONT.
Everything takes them too much time, and eventually they just mess up.

In my opinion, the only possible way to remedy the current status, is Nokia N9 + Meego 1.2 somewhere in late 2011 (after the app market actually works and developers can actually develop without having to e-mail ovi@support.com for every step in the process.

Anyway, I think we chewed this aspect enough, and not saying my opinions fit everyones, but i'm sure some people would prefer the status with the galaxy S.

I know i'm raising a dead thread, but I don't feel like creating a new one just for this :

Some more things that I was missing from N900 on Galaxy S :
- VNC server, found a free one on market that works perfect.
- Found an FTP Server that works perfect
- Found Overclocking capabilities to an already super fast phone.
- All GPS problems have been fixed, and battery is insane in new
ROM released by samsung with android 2.2.1.
- Found some great apps to make Galaxy S camera into a wifi webcam (never found something like this on N900)

I don't see any more Nokia in MY personal future :0

Sounds good. I'm stoked that the application support is really strong for android devices, and the Galaxy S is a very elegant phone.

What types of battery life are you getting now? What is the wifi webcam app?

If i'm using 3g/hsdpa on all the time + some apps at background using internet like whatsapp (freakin amazing app) and ftp server, i get around 22 hours of moderate use.
If i'm only on wifi + 3g for voice calls about 2 days.
If i limit it to 2g + wifi, it's almost 4 days.

Webcam apps :
droidcam ; ip webcam

I'm running android 2.2.1 JPU firmware + voodoo lagfix 5.0.2,
So there is NO lag that the galaxy s is notorious for.
